If the authorities in Northern Ireland introduce a toll on the Northern side and charge people from the Republic to use the A5 after the Republic contributes perhaps £50 million to the project, it will cause a problem. Not a day passes that people do not come into my constituency office looking for funding for primary and national roads. If we are willing to commit a large sum to the A5 project, we should be given a guarantee that people from the Republic will not be charged to use it when they cross into Northern Ireland.
